CASTLEHAINK : LATE EMBEZZLE ME.VT BY THE SLB-TREASIKEE. (From the il,.unt Alexander ihil. Hat/ 19.) A vekv painful sensation was created on Thursdnv by rumours that Mr. T. B. Kaylor. the local treasurer and paymaster, a terri torial niseiiitnite. and one of tbe oldest Go vernment officers in this district, had been detected in appropriating gold confided to his care. We refrained from making re ference to it in Friday's issue, for we in dulged iu the hope that Mr. Xaylor's con duet was capable of explanation; that the crime of which it was alleged be was guuty might turn out to be an error of judgment or the result of carelessness only ; but we arc nnfeignedly sorry to say tbat what has been disclosed leaves no room for doubt as to tbe character of this offence. He is for inallv charged with stealing 110 ozs. 10 dwts. of gold, and tlie unhappy man is now in custody, - on remand' for eight days from the Castlemaine polio; court.
